Luke, I know you’ve changed your mind about Bush’s decision to invade Iraq. But what about Iran?<\/p>\n

1. Should the United States initiate war with Iran to stop it from developing the capability to manufacture nuclear weapons?<\/p>\n

2. Should it do so without regard to the costs that such would entail, if in the end it seems likely to help preserve the secuirty of Israel?<\/p>\n

3. Should Israel initiate war with Iran, assuming the United States does not join in?<\/p>\n
